Now, if only the UK power company would follow the EU standard!  I'm still seeing over 240V at my mains at times.

If you expect to see 230 Vac and you sometimes see 240 Vac I wouldn't sweat it , it's only 4% high.

 

[shipsupt]

Absolutely, and also well within the specification which allows up to 10% high.  On the other hand the current standard only allows them to be under by 6%, although this is expected to be widened to +/- 10% in the near future.

Same thing here down with my mains, I've measured it before and fluctuates between 242 and 243. Supposedly the Australian power rating changed to 230v while ago. Who knows.

Hello there!
 
Finally have the opportunity to get some older Stax for what I think would be a very reasonable price. Well here it is:
 
Stax SRM-T1 and Stax SR-Lambda Signature for barely 700$
 
What do you think? I am not exactly in need of a new system or anything, not at all actually

But I have always been drawn towards Stax. Anything I should be aware of before buying?
 
Hope you might help me out here... so I can be a happy camper for a couple of more months before the next big purchase

 
Also posted this in another thread, kinda forgot about this dedicated stax thread. Sorry for that to anyone who might be offended...

That's a very good deal on a great pairing.

 

[davidsh]

I think I will pull the trigger if I can rest assured that I can sell it again without losing on it.
 
How will the T1 do with some of the newer and perhaps more hi-end Stax? Like sr-007 for example...

 

[Chris J]

Anyone have any experience with the Stax SR-2170 system?
I'm thinking about taking the plunge into Stax world.
I just sold a pair of Signet TK33 Electrets a few weeks ago and I miss them, even with all their flaws.

 

[shipsupt]

It's a great start. It sent me down the stat path, but I still keep it.

I use the amp every day on my desk at work with SR-002 and I mostly use the 207's when testing DIY or stuff that I "fixed".

So I've began my entrance into the Stax world. I bought a SRM323S amp and then more recently a SR007 MK1. I already have the amp but the headphone will probably be here by the end of the week.
 
I'm pretty much done with dynamics/orthos but I'll keep my HD800 rig and have the O2 there as well. They do sound different so hopefully the pair goes well together.

Keep 'em both if you can manage it. Trust me.

Please, I need some convincing

 

[wink]

Don't listen to your wallet.
All is good.
 
 
Repeat until you're convinced....

Oh I plan to. I sold off almost everything else off to keep both rigs.

Actually it helps a bit. But I think the delivery would be ever so slightly costly, since they are to be found here in Denmark... What do you think would be a typical price for such a setup in good condition? I am thinking 600$ for the amp and 2-300$ for the headphones after researching. Still, I am beginning to doubt...
